Protein Isolation

Image
In this post, I will give brief information about Protein Isolation. This can be written in exams and few questions from this topic may appear in competitive exams. To comprehend the structure and capacity of a protein, one must know the number and kinds of amino acids present in the protein and their order. This information is necessary to understand the effects of mutations, mechanisms of enzyme-catalyzed reactions, and chemical synthesis of species-specific peptides that may eliminate undesirable hypersensitivity reactions. Studies of amino acid sequences in proteins have aided in the understanding of the evolutionary development of living systems. Another application of amino acid sequence determination is in recombinant DNA technology. A desired DNA coding for a given polypeptide can be constructed from knowledge of the precise sequence of that polypeptide. Bovine insulin (M.W. 5,700) was the first protein to be completely sequenced by  Sanger in 1955. Sanger was also ...

Nucleic acid structure and properties of DNA

Image
              The genetic information in all living cells is carried in molecules of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), which is primarily found in chromosomes. However, DNA is also present in cellular organelles such as mitochondria and chloroplasts. Viruses carry genetic information in either DNA or RNA molecules. When RNA viruses infect cells, the genetic information in RNA is converted to DNA prior to the replication and synthesis of new viral particles. In the case of certain RNA viruses (retroviruses) such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the DNA that is copied from the infecting RNA is permanently integrated into the host chromosomes and the viral genome becomes an integral part of the cell’s genetic information. The structure of DNA was explained by James Watson and Francis Crick in the year 1953. The structure they proposed made it apparent for the first time how genetic information in chemically stored in cells and how it is replicated and...
